Hepatoma cells recognition based on matrix absolute gray relational degree of B-mode

This paper proposed a novel hepatoma cells recognition method, which used Matrix Absolute Gray Relational Degree of B-Mode (MAGRD-B) to construct feature description of liver cells for distinguishing the cancerous cells from the normal ones. MAGRD-B proposed by us can be considered as a measure of the similarity and the proximity between different cells. And MAGRD-B can work without extracting the exact contours of cells. k-Nearest neighbor (k-NN) algorithm was utilized for determining whether liver cells are healthy or not. Experimental results are obtained on the clinical liver pathological images from different patients, which indicated that MAGRD-B can be used as a commendable feature to recognize hepatoma cells with better recognition accuracy.
